Product: Norton AntiVirus German 16.5.0.134
OS: Windows XP Professional SP3 German & Windows Firewall
Description: Although I've added the path of my local Windows Live Mail database and all subdirectories:
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\firehead\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
to the scan and auto-protect exclusions:
Norton AntiVirus wants me to delete:

It doesn't matter whether Windows Live Mail is running or not.
Automatic and manual scans launched from the Windows Explorer and the NAV GUI don't complain.
Copies of the email containing the EICAR test string hidden in other local email databases from Outlook Express and Thunderbird aren't found at all.
Edit: changed font size and screenshots
